StitchFix Discussion, Pics, and Item Details

Re: StitchFix Discussion, Pics, and Item Details

@speakeasy14, it's more of a royal blue with navy diamonds, if that makes sense.

@labro, thanks for the algorithm tips!! I will have to use them when I next order.

@swazzle, the tops are the Cordelia Striped Boat Neck Sweater and the Flynn Colorblock Sleeveless Blouse.

@goldenpenguin, layering will get you part of the way with thinner dresses, but up here where we can easily get a month or more of day-long subzero temps, all your pieces have to be heavy enough. (I live where cold is made and sent to other places.)

LOL. I grew up in Maine and live in Upstate New York. We INVENTED winter.

You do snow, I'll grant you that, but how's your cold?

We had over a 30 day stretch in January/February that didn't get above freezing and had wind chills of -50 more than once. I got cold.

Nicely done. That's cold. And we do that just about every damn year. Since I'm still scurrying between buildings, all my clothing needs to be heavy enough.

I mean... Same?

I'm not saying that dresses are an every day staple during the winter, for christ sakes, but they can have their moments.

Okay guys, I got my 2nd fix.. Hated all 3 shirts. I was so bummed. Sorry for the headless photos but I had weird faces in all of them and I'm not a fan of putting my face on the internet.

Ritten Henley Top - It's hard to see in the photo but the sleeves were pretty wide - I felt super "That 70's show" in this... It just wasn't my style at all and it was way too boxy (a theme in this fix, apparently) - Didn't Keep.

Filbert 3/5 Sleeve Popover Blouse- I think someone else in this thread got this shirt too. I wasn't thrilled with it. I have a few shirts this style from express that I love, but this one had weird poufy sleeves. Didn't keep it.

Danny Knit Pant and Gramercy Embroidered Top - I really loved this top when I pulled it out of my fix but when I put it on, again, super boxy and unflattering. I was really disappointed. Didn't keep it. The pants on the other hand, I love. They are way too long but I'm used to that and can hem them myself. I'm glad to get a bit of fall color into my wardrobe. Kept them.

Mandy Space Dye Pencil Skirt - **Please pardon the half ass tucked in peach shirt, my H was taking the photos and I was trying to hurry I was not expecting to like this at all, I've tried on pencil skirts before and always felt like they cut me off at a weird point in my legs because of my height. However this one was a great length - right above the knees. So i kept it! What do you guys wear with pencil skirts? My office is super low key so I don't want to dress it up too much.

Overall i was glad about the bottoms, disappointed with the boxy tops. I sent a note to my stylist for next time reiterating that I prefer fitted tops, so we'll see what happens next month!

@pambeesly524 Love those pants! I wish that top wasn't so boxy too because otherwise it's really cute. I did check off that I wear mostly loose tops and that's all they send me and some are just way too boxy or flowy. It's not like I never wear anything fitted- I just am self conscious about my middle and don't want all tight clothes but all flowy is getting to be a bit much!

I haven't worn a pencil skirt in a while because mine are too small for me right now. My office is business casual too so a lot of times I'd just wear a nice scoop neck tee with mine and dress it up with a necklace.

@PamBeesley524 - I really like all of those tops on you! How is the waist on those pants? Low/mid/high? From googling it looks pretty low which won't work for me unfortunately. I really want burgundy pants in my next Fix.

@lavenderfields13 - Scoop or v-neck T would definitely work in my office, I was also thinking a cami and a cardigan. I think I need to get some cute necklaces, I'm really lacking in the jewelry dept! I did check off fitted tops but I also denoted that I usually like to hide my stomach (I like eating bread way too much to have abs ) so maybe they are going off that?

@swazzle - The waist seemed mid-rise to me, though I'd need to try them on again to remember. If they felt low I definitely would have sent them back -- I absolutely hate hiking my jeans up every time i stand up or anything.

@PamBeesly524 I really love that popover blouse on you but obviously can't tell how poofy the sleeves are in real life compared to the picture. I'm glad your fix wasn't a total bust - those pants are amazing!!!

Thanks! That one I was on the fence about - I think it fit well but I have a shirt in that color already that's very similar, didn't seem worth the $50. Plus the poufy sleeves!

Brixon Ivy Fallon Mixed Print Sleeveless Blouse ($44) - loved the print, but they sent a large instead of an XL and the girls just weren't having it. Contemplated exchanging for size, but the bottom fit really well, and I'm afraid that if I sized up it would just be boxy. RETURNING.

Mavi Freida Skinny Jean ($98( and Skies are Blue Caspian Scallop Trim Cardigan($68): Like the jeans, but I feel like I can get a pair of dark skinny jeans that are not $98. The cardigan is cute, but the sleeves are kind of tight, and I'm not sure I LOVE it.

@PamBeesly524 - I'm sorry that you didn't get any good tops. The skirt looks fabulous though! I used to wear my pencil skirt with any of my shirts that had interesting necklines, or a couple of buttons at the top. I also loved adding a big belt across the top. It has since ripped to pieces because I wore it to death. (RIP, skirt)

@GoldenPenguin - That combo with the dress is adorable! And it will keep you so much warmer!

-----------------------------

I got my second fix this weekend:

Market & Spruce Corinna Striped Doman Top - Kept it. It's super comfy, and just the right amount of warmth. It is knit, though, so I'm seriously hoping my dog doesn't jump on me and fuck it up immediately.

The picture also includes the Mavi Freida Skinny Jean. Not worth 98 dollars to me, since I have a pair I got for 30 bucks that are just as comfy. They were warm though, which I liked.

This is the Maisha Ponte Drape Front Jacket from Kut From The Kloth, which is apparently "designed for StitchFix". I love it. It's just warm enough to wear in the office, without being stifling. I still have to figure out the drapey front though.

Lastly, but definitely not least, was the Collective Concepts Rana Floral Dress. This dress is so comfy, so cute, and it fits me so well! I wish it had sleeves, but I liked the rest of it enough that I still kept it. Hopefully I can wear it for dinner on the cruise one night! Although it is a little shorter than I tend to enjoy.

I also got a necklace that just didn't interest me at all. It had these huge beads and was kind of gaudy. I think I'll take necklaces off of the list of things I'm interested in receiving, because I might be too picky.

So today my birthday outfit is the dress with the jacket, knee-length leggings, and lace flats!

I got my second SF yesterday! I'm keeping 3/5 things. I would have kept 5/5 if everything had come in a petite size. When you're as short as I am, petite sizing is key.

Olive & Oak Adia Pullover Sweater:

Definitely too big. I love oversized sweaters, but I felt lost in this one. I love the colors on it, so I was bummed it didn't fit well. Also, it was almost $70, which is ridiculous.

Just Black Dean Skinny Jean in Purple:

LOVE! The color is awesome, and the fit is absolutely perfect. It's so rare for me to find jeans that fit this well. They're a little expensive at $78, but for me, that's totally fine. I usually have to pay to have my jeans hemmed, so I end up spending that much or more anyway when I buy pants.

Market & Spruce Davies Lace Overlay Top:

I was really on the fence about this one. It was see through, but that's no big deal with the proper bra and a cami. It was just a little too big, and made me look boxy and bigger than I am. This is another one that wasn't a petite, and I feel like it would have fit perfectly had it been a petite size. Plus, since I wanted to avoid only returning one item since it's usually cheaper just to buy all five than return only one, so it made sense to return this one too since I was so on the fence about it.

Alice Blue Ceres Crew Neck Blouse:

LOVE! I'm actually wearing this today. It's a great top for work, and I've really needed some new work clothes.

Urban Expressions Dacey Woven Flap Crossbody Bag in Orange:

I love this so much! It's a burnt orange color, which is both perfect for fall and supporting my alma mater during football season. This may be my favorite piece from the whole Fix.

Overall, a great Fix! 3/5! My next one is scheduled for October 14, which feels like forever from now... stupid budget keeping me from being able to get SFs multiple times per month.

@eilis1228 Great Fix! I love the sweater, it's too bad it wasn't a bit smaller! And I am super jealous that you don't have to hem the pants you got.. I've been putting off hemming mine for a week now but I really want to wear them!

@pambeesly524 I agree about the sweater! I really loved it and was bummed it was too big. Even my FI was like, "Uh, no." lol. These pants are magical! I'm very short, so it's rare to find pants that fit. I feel like I'll probably purchase any pants they send from that brand.
